Byrd Does the Right Thing

I never thought I'd see the day when I believed Robert Byrd to be correct about anything:

"Last week, Byrd decried the highly partisan tone of Alito's confirmation hearing, held three weeks ago, saying 'something is wrong with our judicial nominations process, and we in the Senate have the power to fix it.'

The West Virginia lawmaker admonished his colleagues from the Senate floor, telling them their votes should be based on Alito's qualifications not their party affiliation."
